What is a carnivorous plant?  

i have never seen one but i would like to. in australia i belive they grow

carnivorous plants live on little flies and other small insects. I havent seen them but would like to own a small one to get rid of flies and moskitoes

My friend used to have a Venus Flytrap which is a carnivourus plant. I believe she would feed it raw ground beef. I've personally never owned a plant like that.

Here is a link with a lot of info for you on this subject.

Carnivorous plats are those adapted for capturing insects and other tiny animals by means of ingenious pitfalls and traps and then subjecting them to the decomposing action of digestive enzymes, bacteria, or both. i have seen them in a nearby botanical garden.

i only know the venus fly trap

There are quite a handful of carniverous plants. Mostly from a rain forest area. Venus Fly Trap, Pitcher plant,, Sundew, Bladderworts. Some grow to 30 feet tall and others are small in size. They have developed to obtain nutrients from animal matter. Sometimes small mammals and reptiles They need special care to survive in our homes which tend to run too dry.
Southeast Asia, Mexico, and homes where collectors give them what they need to thrive.

I don't know a carnivor plant... I'm curious to know it. I search on internet ;-)

Yes carnivorous plants do exist.There are few species of such plants.These plants are small in height and feed on small insects.They have a trap in which small insects get trapped and then the plant digests the pray and get energy.Thus these plants are carnivorous.

insectivorous plant like nepenthes
They are found in assam

hi don, have seen pitcher plants and venus fly traps. they both grow in assam in india. had planted a pitcher plant in my yard. its a vine which can get very big indeed. feeds on insects. has a gluey liquid in the pitcher and emits a smell attractive to insects. when they crawl in the pitcher closes and digestive liquids inside the pitcher do the rest. the pitcher then opens again for the next victim. yes, you can spend hours watching the astonishing creation of nature.
